Harry, it's okay...you are allowed to have "bed" days, don't beat yourself up about it. The journey we are all on is, very often, a matter of "two steps forward and one step back". The trick, is to *not* get so obsessed about that "one step" that you stop moving at all.
I think that you were so much better in the hospital because you were with other people. You didn't have loneliness to increase your depression. One of the insidious things about depression is that it makes us isolate ourselves, right when we *most need* people around us. I wish that you had a close friend to confide in, so they could call everyday and assess your level of isolation and maybe help you find at least enough motivation to get to treatment. Do you feel that you could convince yourself to at least come to psycho-babble when you feel your worst? I would be very willing(and some others probably would too) to arrange a certain time of morning to be here. Touching base with people who care, might give you just enough of a boost to get to your program.
Think about that, and remember *all* of your feelings are valid, and you have a right to have them. You will get thru the hard times, because so many people are rooting for you! CarolAnn
